Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. In addition to having severe deficiencies, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Remarkably, we gave this nursing home a grade of C for its short-term care score, which is not too bad of a score. Our short-term care grades are thought to be most important for patients needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. We looked at the qualifications of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with patients, in calculating our score in this area. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we scored was long-term care, which proved to be a weak spot for this facility. We gave this facility a grade of just D for our long-term care category. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 58.193977 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be several points below what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
